While, cruise ships service is available through 5 ports, namely Jakarta’s Tanjung Priok Port, Surabaya’s Tanjung Perak Port, Medan’s Belawan Port, Makassar’s Soekarno Hatta Port and Bali’s Tanjung Benoa Port.
Indonesia shares land borders with three countries: Timor Leste in Timor Island, Malaysia in Borneo, and Papua New Guinea in Papua. From Malaysia, regular buses between Kuching (Sarawak, eastern Malaysia) and Pontianak (West Kalimantan) pass through the border post at Entikong. The only land crossing that connects the Indonesian province of Papua and Papua New Guinea is the Skouw Border Post situated at Muaratami District which is about 60Km from Jayapura, the capital city of Papua Province.
